Otherworldly Pastry Chef

Mr. Hu finally stayed with Hei Xiao and Bai Guo, and waited until the pot of steamed mutton came out.In fact, it's not because of his greed, but because he wants to try whether the food made from the fruit can perfectly retain all the magic power of the material.

Steamed lamb chops with ginkgo are only marinated with salt and Jiafu leaves.Jia Fu Ye is a kind of tree leaves, the leaves are very thick, like flat olive shape.It doesn't smell much, but after tasting the juice of the leaves, you can clearly feel a spicy taste similar to ginger, but this spicy taste is not too harsh, much softer than old ginger.The juice is slightly sticky, and Ginkgo thinks it may not be very good for cooking and stewing, but it may be used as a spice to replace ordinary ginger.

The meat of the steamed lamb chops is soft and elastic. The salty taste of the salt can bring out the sweetness of the meat itself. The taste makes the lamb chops taste particularly delicious.

After Wu Zhong took the first bite of lamb chops, he immediately praised: "Good! Really good craftsmanship! Let alone the magic energy in this lamb chops, the simple taste and the feeling of eating make people want to stop eating. Xiao Baiguo, You are the best cook I have ever met!"

Bai Guo was a little embarrassed by the praise, and scratched her head: "Actually, it's just because I didn't have anything else to do before. I was cooking and eating." This sentence is absolutely true!

Wu Zhong ate up the lamb chops, and then continued: "I estimate that your pot of lamb chops can be equivalent to one-tenth of the magic power content of a bottle of low-level magic potion. After all, you are using a third-level magic potion. The strength of the sheep and the second-level Jiafuye. This is much better than expected. From this point of view, it should not consume much spiritual power. Especially you still have so much mutton, and it has not been completely produced. , so I think it is still very complete. Well, I will not bother you too much after dinner. Thank you for your hospitality, I will come with Xiaohua tomorrow, it should be fine, right?"

Bai Guo immediately replied: "Of course no problem!"

After seeing Mr. Hu off, Bai Guo sat down to eat lamb chops in peace.

“The taste is really good, better than all the lamb chops I have made before. It will be even better if it is sprinkled with a little fried cumin powder and peppercorns!”

Hei Xiao also sat down again, and did not answer Bai Guo's words, nor did he eat the lamb chops, but fell into deep thought.

Bai Guo turned to look at Hei Xiao, and poked his arm with a small hand: "What's wrong with you, Hei Xiao? Isn't it delicious?"

Hei Xiao came back to his senses and shook his head: "No. Of course the food made by my fruit is the best. I was just thinking about what Mr. Hu said just now."

Bai Guo blinked: "He said a lot, which sentence are you thinking about?"

"That's what he said, you will have more money and status." Hei Xiao answered truthfully.

Bai Guo put down the lamb chops in his hand: "Heixiao, what's wrong with you? I'm a demon, and I'm different from the people here. I won't grow old or die naturally, I can't stay here for a long time. And Food and drink are all obtained from the forest. Money can only make us live better in the city, and it is useless in the forest. How could I care about status, money and so on. I am really not a fan of money. !"

Hei Xiao was amused by Guo Zi's last sentence.

"That's right, my fruit is not a money fan. I'm not worried that you will care about that. I'm just thinking, if you really can make these magical ingredients and foods that only you can do, then even if you don't want to be harassed by others Not likely."

Bai Guo sighed: "I also feel depressed when you say that. Why is it so troublesome. Those who are good at making magic potions have never been harassed."

Hei Xiao was stunned by this sentence, and then realized: "That's right! It's not only the food you make, people still choose magic potions. After all, the amount of food is limited, so it's better to use a bottle of potions several times. It is more convenient, and the spiritual power that can be replenished is more effective. Why did I get taken into the ditch by Mr. Hu!" After thinking about this, Hei Xiao's mood immediately improved, and he stretched out his hand to hug Bai Guo and let him sit on his lap. Then he kissed Qin Guozi on the cheek.

"But no matter what, they will be fresh and amazed for a while. We must get married before that. I will start tomorrow to capture the best furs to make clothes for you."

Hearing about making clothes, Ginkgo wilted immediately.

"Hei Xiao, my hand hurts when I hold a needle and thread."

Hei Xiao was amused: "But what if we can't live in the beast city without clothes and shoes?"

Originally, the answer to this question should be to dress up and go to the market to buy, anyway, no one knows it.But Bai Guo has seriously thought about the issue of self-reliance.

"That's right. Then it's better for me to study hard. Then I'll ask Uncle Xin to teach me tomorrow!"

Before going to bed, Ginkgo steamed the glutinous rice and mashed it with washed mint to make a cold cake. When the mint cold cake was ready, he put a whole piece on a plate, covered the plate and put it in the basket. Let Hei Xiao be sent into the well cellar.

Unexpectedly, it started to rain suddenly in the middle of the night, and when Bai Guo woke up, he found that it was raining, so he quickly asked Hei Xiao to bring up the basket containing the cold cakes.

Taking off the cover and inspecting the cold cake, Bai Guo breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, the cover is tight, otherwise it would be really bad if rainwater entered."

Hei Xiao sniffed it and felt a strange smell.

"Why does it smell weird?"

Bai Guo started the knife-cut cold cake: "Try it later, it's not surprising at all. You didn't think it was strange when you ate stewed fish with mint yesterday. Although the refreshing taste of mint leaves disappeared when the fish was stewed."

After washing up, Hei Xiao took the cold cake from Bai Guo.After taking a bite, the cold cake tasted much more springy and tougher than the glutinous rice cakes they made before. The ginkgo fruit did not use much sugar, so the sweetness was just right. This chilly mint flavor made Hei Xiao tremble. He lowered his eyebrows, he really didn't quite get used to the first bite, but after the second and third bites, he unexpectedly felt better and better.

"It's okay. I'm not used to it at first. It's good to eat a few more bites."

Bai Guo picked up a piece and tasted it himself: "The taste is a little bland! Wait for me." He took out a jar of plum sauce from Liangyihuan, then spread some on the cold cake, and tasted it again. After taking a sip, he immediately wiped some of the cold cake in Hei Xiao's hand.

"Try to eat like this again. In fact, you can just brush it with honey, but I know you don't like sweets very much."

This jar of plum jam is made from ripe plums. Because there is not too much sugar in it, the sweet and sour taste comes from the fruit itself, and it tastes more fruity. It is different from those stored in the well. Collectibles are coming.

"It tastes better this way. Can it be made salty?" Hei Xiao had a sudden thought.

The ginkgo man really thought about it: "Uh... it's not impossible. But there is really no need to make it like this. If you want to eat salty, you can make rice balls. Rice balls are delicious, let's have rice balls at noon Alright, I'm going to stew the rice now!"

"You're thinking about noon now, what do you want to eat in the morning? I'll make it." Hei Xiao asked after covering the cold cake again.

Bai Guo thought for a while, and decided to eat Hei Xiao's special dish: "Then roll the meatloaf. I'll make two bowls of shredded chicken and egg drop soup. There must be a lot of things to cook today, just make it simple in the morning."

After the two of them finished their breakfast, Bai Guo moved a small bench and sat at the door looking out.

"Hei Xiao, why doesn't it stop raining?" Seeing that the low-lying places outside were covered with water, Bai Guo sighed.

Hei Xiao also moved the bench to be beside him, and stretched out his arms to hold him in his arms.

"It's almost the rainy season. For more than a month every year, the rain in the Rock Eucalyptus Forest is particularly concentrated. Just wait until you get used to it. It's not an exaggeration now."

Thinking that Hei Xiao lived alone in the woods for five years before, when he was still a child, Bai Guo felt sour.

"Then you were alone in the woods, what would you do if it rained or snowed?"

Hei Xiao replied: "I lived in a quite spacious cave at that time. The ability to build a tent was developed at that time. There is nothing difficult during the rainy season. It is nothing more than boiling some water to take a bath when it rains. It is indeed more difficult in winter Some, but I used thinner logs to make a wooden row door, and then tied thick animal skins on it, which is much better in winter. Burning charcoal was also slowly practiced at that time."

Although Hei Xiao said it lightly, as if there was a hint of humor in it, but Bai Guo was even more sad.

"Hei Xiao, I will live with you in the cave and build a wooden door from now on."

Hei Xiao smiled, an uncontrollable smile from the heart.

"How can I let you and the children live in a cave. Even if we want to live in another place in the future, I will build a warm and comfortable house for you. We can have a farmland, a fruit forest, and many small animals. I will Hunting and tanning leather to make all kinds of things, I will never let you live the life I did when I was a child. Besides, by that time, I think our grandchildren should have children."

Bai Guo leaned against Hei Xiao's arms, thinking about the life described by Hei Xiao, she was really looking forward to it.Of course he automatically blocked the topic of his grandson's children.

"Then we must find a place with a particularly good environment. There must be a sea. I have never seen the sea! It is best to have hot springs. In the past, the hot springs in Lie Shenshan were occupied by a few big monsters with high cultivation bases. I haven't soaked in the mansion a few times. It would be even better if there are lakes and rivers, so that we can fish, catch shrimps and dig clams!"

Hei Xiao listened seriously at first, but after Bai Guo finished speaking, he couldn't help complaining: "Guo Guo, why must it be a place with water?"

He didn't notice it when he said it, but when Hei Xiao mentioned it, Bai Guo also felt that it was really the case.So he laughed: "Really! Why is it all water? It's not right. I think so is very correct. You see, we need fresh water to live, and sea water to make salt. If there is a hot spring, there is no need to boil water for bathing It is much more convenient and saves trees, what I said is very reasonable!"

Hei Xiao nodded again and again: "Yes. You are right. In the future, we will definitely find such a place to build a big house and yard!"

The two of them were thinking about the bright future, and Wu Zhong and Wu Hua also rushed over.

Letting the two people into the house, Bai Guo quickly poured hot water for them: "I didn't expect it to rain today, so hurry up and drink some ginger tea to warm up."

Wu Hua took the water glass.

"In such a hot day, it finally rained to cool you down, and you still said you need to warm up." He couldn't help complaining, but he still took two sips.Sweet in my heart, it's great to have such a considerate friend as Guozi!Only after drinking, he stuck out his tongue.

"hot!"

Guozi also understands Wuhua's character. When he said this, Guozi also smiled: "It's to get rid of dampness. By the way, I made cold cakes. You can try it. Mr. Hu, you can try it too." Try it, it's really good!"

The ingredients of the cold cake are very ordinary, but the feeling of making it is very good.Because Wu Zhong was used to rinsing his mouth with peppermint water at home, he didn't dislike the feeling of the cool wind in his mouth, so he took a few mouthfuls, and the more he ate, the more he felt.

"This is really good. It feels cool to the touch, and it tastes even cooler. It must be a good mood to eat in summer. And it doesn't need to be heated, and you can also take it out for hunting. Fruits, how many days can this be stored?"

Bai Guo frowned and calculated: "If you add some lemon juice, you can keep it for a few more days. If it's just like this, it should be fine for two or three days at the current temperature. If you put it in the well cellar, it can be stored again. Let it go for two more days."

"Then it's enough to go hunting. In this way, because the rainy season is coming, the city will organize three collective hunting. Can you make more of this cold cake? It's better to have no sweetness, so go Come back for two days, as long as you can persist for two days." Although it was a sudden whim, Wu Zhong felt that there should be no problem.

Bai Guo nodded immediately: "Okay! There is no problem with this. When do you want it?"

Wu Zhong replied: "The first hunt is three days later, is there time?"

Bai Guo made a calculation: "It's too late. But how much?"

"About [-] catties of rice. After all, we can't bring all of them. Each person should share some and bring a lot. You have to bring meat for something."

One hundred catties of rice... Ginkgo swallowed.But if you think about it, the males are super edible, and if there are too many people, each person will not get a few dollars.

"These can still be made."

Wu Zhong nodded: "Okay. Because part of the dry food for each collective hunting is allocated by the city lord, I will go to the city lord and tell the city lord to buy some cold cakes from you. But it is best for me to bring some cold cakes. Let the city lord taste it, so that he can understand my thoughts."

Bai Guo hurriedly turned around to look for a plate: "I'll pack some for you right now! It will taste better with some honey or jam!"

Wu Zhongdao: "Then just pay two yuan for each item. You don't have to pretend too much, don't make it seem like you are going to do business with him or give him a gift."

"Speaking of which, I came to live in Yancheng, and I didn't give gifts to the city lord. Will he be angry?" When it came to the topic of gift giving, Bai Guo suddenly thought of this question.When Chang Xin chatted with him yesterday, he said that getting married is to give gifts to the city lord.

Wu Zhong was amused: "In fact, many people leave the city every year, and many people will settle in Yancheng. These things are managed by me, and the city owner will not care about them. Don't worry, although he looks He's quite serious, and doesn't really like chatting with the people in the city, but he's really a good guy."
